Episode description

Hey Note Closers! Scott Carson here, diving into the essential topic of common sense underwriting. This episode is all about avoiding the pitfalls that can turn a seemingly great deal into a costly mistake. We're going beyond the spreadsheets and ROI calculators to focus on practical, real-world due diligence.


Key Takeaways:

  • The Importance of Loan-Level Bids: Don't fall for the "percentage across the board" approach. Insist on loan-level bids to accurately assess the value of each asset.
  • Don't Be an A-Hole: Treat sellers with respect and professionalism. Submitting unrealistic offers or failing to follow instructions will damage your reputation.
  • Know Your Market: Don't bid on assets in areas you don't understand or wouldn't want to own. Focus on markets with a decent population and available resources.
  • Don't Fall in Love with the Property: Take the emotion out of the equation. Focus on the numbers and the potential for profit, not the aesthetics of the property.
  • Look Beyond the Numbers: Don't rely solely on spreadsheets. Consider factors like the condition of the property, the borrower's history, and potential legal issues.


Actionable Advice:

This episode is packed with actionable advice to help you make smarter investment decisions. We'll discuss:

  • How to assess the value of a note beyond the numbers
  • How to identify potential red flags
  • How to build a strong team of professionals to support your due diligence efforts
